Welcome to an irreverent, not-at-all comprehensive blog about my couponing exploits in Montgomery County, Maryland, with some annoying cats sprinkled about. Try not to step on them; they get ever so cross. Also there may be some law stuff here and there, but not too much, because most law stuff is boring.

My Massive Sunday Haul, 6/10/12

Ugh, this week makes me want to punch someone in the groin. Everything that could go wrong pretty much did. There is NOTHING going on at CVS this week. I got a razor and some cheap (but not free) pantyliners. Blah. Didn't have the coupons to do the rest of the sparse deals. But I am looking forward to trying a new deal that that has sprung up in light of a $10/$30 Gillette coupon that printed from the CVS Magic Coupon Machine today. So maybe y'all will hear about that shortly.

As you may have heard by now, Rite Aid made another misprint. GASP! The Visine deal was Spend $15, Receive $5 +Up. Not exactly as advertised. But while not a moneymaker, if you have the right coupons lying around, you might still get some cheap Visine!

Then there's Walgreens. Oh, Walgreens. This week you win the Massive Epic Fail award that I just made up. There was massive confusion over the few products that were actually included in the Nivea Men face sale. Also, neither the Spend $30, Receive $10 P&G Register Reward nor the $2 Nivea Men award printed, even though all items were marked on the shelves as part of their respective sales. So I had to obtain those rewards manually. I had purchased two specially marked packages of the Secret Clinical as part of the first sale, only to find out that one of them didn't have the $25 in coupons inside it! So disappointing! I should have checked before I purchased it. Why don't they seal those damn boxes? Anyone can just open it, grab the coupons and put the product back on the shelf. Damn thieving couponers. I sent an email to P&G stating how disappointed I was and that I'm now considering returning the product, so maybe I'll get some nice coupons in the mail. We'll see. I'd really like that $5 Align coupon that would have been in the box!

*I used the Internet coupons since they expire in a couple of days. I have the ones that printed before they added the restriction eliminating use on this size. Next I'm planning to combine one of them with Rite Aid Adperk coupons to get some free (or moneymaker) liners tomorrow!*

*Remember that technically Rite Aid policy doesn't allow you to use coupons on items made free by a BOGO sale, but that if your store values you enough as a customer to let you do it (or just doesn't give a flip about the corporate policy), then yay. My store never gives me trouble. It's a stupid policy anyway. It's like they don't even want to try to compete with CVS, whose policy does allow it as a matter of course. Dumbass suits at Rite Aid corporate.*
